The latest binutils release is 2.9.1. I was testing H.J.'s releases in the hope that it would help get a new FSF release of binutils out of the door. Only after having installed it on a dozen of platforms and finding problems on a couple of them I found out there were some non-trivial divergences between H.J's and Sourceware trees. Even though I have spotted some problems that were particular to H.J.'s releases, some are also present in the Sourceware tree. I myself would rather have both work on as many platforms as possible :-) -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva IC-Unicamp, Bra[sz]il oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br,guarana.{org,com}} aoliva@{acm,computer}.org oliva@{gnu.org,kaffe.org,{egcs,sourceware}.cygnus.com,samba.org} ** I may forward mail about projects to mailing lists; please use them
